    No worries, Olshey does this Obi Wan Kenobi to other GMs to get players for less.

    I think they will take some okay young talent instead of a pick but the main thing is that they dont' want to take back any real salary. For us we could probably do it if we gave up Leonard and someone like Crabbe if they think they can improve Leonard and turn him into something.

    I had him on my fantasy team last year so I ended up paying attention to him quite a bit. I also really like him. He comes with a lot of the same things Batum brings though: Versatility, passing, a bit of rebounding, a bit of defense, a 3rd option-esque offensive game, and a bit of inconsistency from one game to the next.

    But honestly, he could be a really great glue guy on a championship team. At this point, he is a poor man's Batum. But, he will improve. I would most definitely be in favor of acquiring him somehow.

    This is the least I've ever been excited for an opening night. I don't really care about the 6 teams playing tonight. Only really care about Blazers games this year. I guess I'm curious about Rose and Oden. I'm kind of hope the Lakers win. They're not a threat this year and since we're shooting for the #1 seed, it's more important that the Clippers win. But whatever.

    I agree. Was thinking the same thing this weekend. I love the opening nights where almost every team is in action on NBA TV. I am much more excited for tomorrow night. But am still looking forward to watching Rose against Miami.

    The Laker-Clipper should be a blow out, and there are no other western conference games........

    Wait..... How come there's not more chatter about Gortat being traded by the Suns to Washington? Anyone? Seriously, did you guys not see Gortat was traded for Okafor?

    I think you have actually become more of a prick than used to be.

    Of the 103 NBDL alumni who are on NBA rosters, 38 were 1st round NBA picks, 34 were 2nd round NBA picks, and 31 were undrafted......
